I agree. In Ref: A petition to save the Jack Rabbit. I have spend alot of time at Idora as a child, but its gone and I have recently visited the site. The Jack Rabbit is so bad the wood is in such bad condition that it could not be saved. Thats all I have to say.

I also agree, while Idora will be missed, the recent ballroom fire in many ways gives closure to a park that died many years ago. Idora is dead. Long live Idora!
I grudgingly agree with the others here. The only thing that can be done...is to rebuild them from scratch using steel supports. And with everyone building high tech coasters lately....it looks even less likely. I'd love to be able to ride the Wildcat and Jackrabbit again....but if that is to happen...it'll be at another park! Plans to rescue these coasters fell through...including one last year also! And while I haven't seen the coasters since Idora was still in existence....I agree that just sitting there isn't helping. And with no park wanting these rides...they will continue to sit there till someone dozes them! I know your heart's in the right place...but a miracle is needed to save these Idora coasters. And miracles are in short supply in this town!
